Washington, DC- Congressman Andy Harris will host an information tele-town hall for citizens impacted by Hurricane Sandy on Monday, November 19 at 2:30 pm for residents of the Crisfield, Smith Island, Marion, Fairmount, Deal Island, Ocean Pines and Princess Anne zip codes. Listed residents will receive a phone invitation at 2:30 p.m.
FEMA Federal Coordinating Officer Mike Lapinski will join the congressman on the call to answer citizen questions regarding the federal disaster declaration process, programs for which impacted residents may be eligible, the Federal Government’s response to date, and plans for future assistance to those affected by Hurricane Sandy.

That is all well and good, but I think the town hall meets should be done here on the Shore and not across the bay as a teleconference. This does a disservice to the residences of those affected here on the shore and seems cowardly without the face to face meeting.
I like Harris, but all the meetings seem to be teleconferences. Would like to see him in person to hear his take on the economy, jobs, and the problems facing the people of his district here on the Eastern Shore.
Sounds like a joke - Do they expect a lot of participation from displaced or homeless. Get real,and use common sense. Can't say I would call this plan influential nor for the majority of the citizens in need very helpful. Just more run around from the government.
